Actually, misleading title is very misleading,
as you will see once you read this post. But any chance I
get to take a shot at the futility of the Cubs franchise, I take
it.

The John Hughes classic Ferris Bueller’s Day Off will be
screened at the inaugural Movie Night at Wrigley
Field this coming October 1. For the three of you
who haven’t seen the movie, well, you have my pity. One of
the stops on Ferris’ epic day off from school is a trip to
Wrigley to see a Cubs game with his girlfriend Sloan and best
friend Cameron.

So yeah, the baseball that will be seen at Wrigley took place in
a classic 80s movie, but still, this is the closest Cubs fans
will get to seeing any kind of October baseball in their
lifetime.

Enjoy?

The prices to attend Movie Night at Wrigley Field border on the
outrageous. $25 for lawn seats and $10 for bleachers ($75
for VIP lawn seating with food and drink at the stadium’s Captain
Morgan Club isn’t that bad) to see a movie from 1986 in a stadium
that smells like a urinal cake? Granted there’s going to be
a Danke Schoen sing-along for everyone in attendance,
but for that much money they should recreate the Twist and Shout
parade scene with everyone taking turns playing Ferris Bueller,
if only for the chance of nailing Sloan. Loved her back in
the day.
